A ''[[Transversal (combinatorics)|transversal]]'' (or "[[hitting set]]") of a hypergraph ''H'' = (''X'', ''E'') is a set <math>T\subseteq X</math> that has nonempty [[intersection (set theory)|intersection]] with every edge. A transversal ''T'' is called ''minimal'' if no proper subset of ''T'' is a transversal. The ''transversal hypergraph'' of ''H'' is the hypergraph (''X'', ''F'') whose edge set ''F'' consists of all minimal transversals of ''H''. | A ''[[Transversal (combinatorics)|transversal]]'' (or "[[hitting set]]") of a hypergraph ''H'' = (''X'', ''E'') is a set <math>T\subseteq X</math> that has nonempty [[intersection (set theory)|intersection]] with every edge.
